Chapter 461: The Two Heroes Return (2)
Advances along land and water, Ao Lie and Sun Ce, with their respective subordinates, came to Jianye, the political and military center of Jiangdong after more than ten days of running around.
Just like when Ao Lie arrived in Xiangyang, the civil and military officials in Jiangdong set up the highest etiquette to welcome Ao Lie. Whether they were willing to surrender to the Northern Han in their hearts or unwilling to surrender to the Northern Han, at least in terms of reception etiquette, they all showed enough respect for Ao Lie. After all, if Ao Lie had not borrowed troops from the original, there would not be the situation in Jiangdong now.
Standing in the first list of nearly 100 civil and military officials, Sun Quan was naturally the one who left behind in Jiangdong instead of Sun Ce. Sun Quan is almost twenty years old now, more steady and more experienced than before. Sun Ce has already been handed over most of the internal affairs of Jiangdong and the balance between the various major families in Jiangdong. Sun Quan has long been relieved to hand over to Sun Quan to handle it with full authority. It can be said that Sun Quan can also be called half of Jiangdong's master. Sun Ce, who is good at leading troops to fight and has a strong personality, is good at handling internal affairs. Sun Quan, who is calm in his character, forms a perfect complement to the inside, and one outside and one inside, and manages Jiangdong in an orderly manner. The two brothers joined forces to build a wall and protect the entire Jiangdong well. Over time, they were named "Two Heroes of Jiangdong" by the children of Jiangdong.
There are two masters in a military group. In addition to the blood relationship between Sun Ce and Sun Quan, the unique humanistic atmosphere of Jiangdong is also an important reason for this situation. In Jiangdong, there are many families, and one of the iconic characteristics of aristocratic families is that they have a prosperous population. The family often has outstanding representatives in all fields. Only by taking blood relatives as the collective can a huge family be formed. In order to cater to the regional characteristics of Jiangdong, the Sun brothers formed a management model of division of politics. Of course, when facing national affairs, Sun Ce was the last one to make the decision. After all, he was the real leader of Jiangdong.
Taking a step forward, Sun Quan took his head in the direction of Ao Lie and bowed: "Disciple Quan, pay homage to Master." The civil and military officials standing behind Sun Quan naturally did not dare to neglect. While bowing and bowing, they said in unison: "I will pay homage to the Regent. The Regent is Thousand Years and Thousand Years and Thousand Years and Thousand Years and Thousand Years and Thousand Years and Thousand Years and Thousand Years and Thousand Years and Thousand Years and Thousand Years and Thousand Years and Thousand Years and Thousand Years and Thousand Years and Thousand Years and Thousand Years and Thousand Years and Thousand Years and Thousand Years and Thousand Years and Thousand Years and Thousand Years and Thousand Years and Thousand Years and Thousand Years and Thousand Years and Thousand Years and Thousand
His attitude towards Zhou Yu was completely different from when he was in Xiangyang. Ao Lie did not turn over and get off the horse, but sat straight on the horse's back and said in a deep voice: "Please be calm." His tone was filled with inviolable majesty, and the sacred was irresistible. It was conveyed to the hearts of every civil and military minister in Jiangdong through his words.
There is a reason why Ao Lie spoke in such a tone of superiors to subordinates. In Jiangdong, most people were willing to surrender to the Northern Han, but there were still a very small number of people who were temporarily in a wait-and-see attitude for the purpose of protecting their families. Ao Lie used this tone to shock the people in Jiangdong and let the people who were watching feel Ao Lie's determination to recover Jiangdong. If they did not cooperate, it would be equivalent to declaring war on the Northern Han! At the same time, Ao Lie could not be sure whether those who were willing to surrender were sincere, and necessary knocks were naturally essential. Establishing their own majesty when the people in Jiangdong first came into effect was much stronger than regaining Jiangdong by gentle means, but in the future, the incest changes in Jiangdong would occur.
The name of a person and the shadow of a tree. The reputation of Ao Lie's little overlord has long been famous all over the world. Even Sun Ce, who was highly praised by Jiangdong's children, was defeated by Ao Lie with one move. He willingly regarded Ao Lie as his teacher. It is conceivable that Ao Lie's ability must be far above Sun Ce. The establishment of Jiangdong is inseparable from Sun Ce's martial arts and strategies. Without Sun Ce, there would be no situation in Jiangdong today. Sun Ce, a disciple, was already so powerful, so Ao Lie, as a master, had his ability far beyond the imagination of Jiangdong. Under Ao Lie's majestic tone, except for Sun Ce and Sun Quan brothers, the rest of Jiangdong, etc., were silently silently. No one dared to make any sound. He just followed Ao Lie's orders, slowly straightened his body, and then stood behind Sun Quan.
Seeing his words shocked the people in Jiangdong, Ao Lie slowly continued: "Gu came today, nothing else. I just want to ask you, would you like to return to the arms of the great man and truly accept Gu? If there is anyone who is unwilling, please stand on Gu's right hand. As long as you say enough reasons to convince Gu, Gu will never make things difficult for you. But if you don't stand on Gu's right hand and return to Gu's right hand, but do something erratic in private, once you find out, you will be severely punished! Gu gives you thirty breaths to consider, and now start time!"
Originally, such national affairs should be discussed in the court, and they must also do a good job of keeping them confidential. Before the matter is settled, they will not be made public. But now Ao Lie is abnormal. Not only does he say it in public, but he also limited time for the people in Jiangdong, leaving no room for the people in Jiangdong to turn around. His words are like a blade. While giving them a huge sense of oppression in their hearts, he also highlighted his determination to take back Jiangdong.
Silence, silence, or silence. The Jiangdong people stood there and fell into a short but eternal silence. Until twenty breaths passed, no one took his own steps. Everyone was fighting rapidly in their hearts. At the beginning, many people thought that Ao Lie just wanted to take back Jiangdong in form, and Jiangdong's actual power would still be controlled by Sun Ce and Sun Quan brothers. However, judging from Ao Lie's tough tone, it was obviously not the same thing. Ao Lie was going to really take back Jiangdong and re-assign Jiangdong to the Han Dynasty, or to the rule of the Northern Han Dynasty.
Although Ao Lie's toughness exceeded many expectations, it did not arouse dissatisfaction among the people in Jiangdong. In any case, Ao Lie extended a helping hand to save Jiangdong when Jiangdong was in trouble with internal and external troubles. After defeating Yuan Shu, Ao Lie strongly recommended Sun Ce, who represented the interests of the Jiangdong Group, to take up the position of Yangzhou Governor and become the supreme ruler of Jiangdong; Ao Lie helped Jiangdong defeat the Jingzhou Army, which made the reputation of the Jiangdong Army reach its peak. Ao Lie can be said to be half the founder of Jiangdong Military Group. Now, he wants to take back Jiangdong, in terms of reason, public or private, and no one can say anything.
However, for the Jiangdong people, they also put in great efforts in the process of Jiangdong's rise. Now Ao Lie is so tough that he wants to take back Jiangdong. Although they can't find a reason to argue, they still feel unwilling in their hearts, as if the fruit of victory they have worked hard was easily picked by Ao Lie. However, everyone knows in their hearts that Jiangdong will never stand opposite to the Northern Han. First of all, Sun Ce and Sun Quan brothers, the two supreme rulers of Jiangdong, would not allow such a thing to happen; secondly, with the current strength of the Jiangdong army, the powerful Northern Han, is far from the opponent of the powerful Northern Han, and even Cao Cao, who is entrenched in the Central Plains, his chances of victory are not significant; furthermore, if Jiangdong really opposes the Northern Han, it is equivalent to being ungrateful, and I am afraid that the entire Jiangdong will become the target of criticism of the world.
When Zhao Yun counted to the twenty-fifth breath, Sun Ce was the first to take the step, firmly standing on the left hand of Ao Lie from the middle queue, expressing his willingness to sincerely submit to the Northern Han and Ao Lie. After Sun Ce, Sun Quan also moved. He and Sun Ce were in line with each other and stood on the left hand of Ao Lie.
With the movement of Sun Ce and Sun Quan brothers, among the people in Jiangdong, almost all the generals took steps at the same time, spanning to the left, and standing behind Sun Ce brothers. For these straightforward generals, they did not have much concern and did not need to consider the interests of the family. They only adhered to the unique concept of warriors: follow the strong and win one after another.
"Twenty-six..." As Zhao Yun's counting was getting closer and closer, among the remaining civil servants in Jiangdong, the old minister Zhang Zhao was the first to stand out and walked to Ao Lie's left to stand. Zhang Zhao was a veteran of the three dynasties. When Sun Jian was still alive, he had already served as a vocal official in Jiangdong. He always played a role as a weather vane in the Jiangdong civil servant system. Every decision of his decision had a significant impact on the civil servants in Jiangdong. Zhang Zhao stood up because he knew very well that the world would be unified by the Northern Han sooner or later. Instead of waiting for the Northern Han to eliminate Cao Cao from the Central Plains under the rule of Ao Lie, it would be better to surrender as soon as possible. In this way, he could make some contributions in the future attack on Cao Cao, which could not only protect the interests of his family, but also gain a reputation that was famous in history.
Zhang Hong, who had the same family as Zhang Zhao, obviously had the same idea as Zhang Zhao. Almost as Zhang Zhao had just taken steps, his steps also moved, followed Zhang Zhao closely and stood on the left side of Ao Lie.
Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong are brothers. They are called "Jiangdong Erzhang" by the people of Jiangdong. At the same time, they are also right-hand men who assisted Sun Quan in handling internal affairs. As soon as their attitudes were clear, most civil officials immediately led to make a decision. Dozens of civil officials stopped the battle between heaven and man in their hearts, dispelled all doubts, and followed Jiangdong Erzhang's footsteps and expressed their attitude. In their opinion, Jiangdong Erzhang is one of the representative families of the Jiangdong big family. Even they are willing to surrender to the Northern Han, so there is no need to consider them more.
